Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 100 Five-Nation Allied Forces

Chapter 100
When Ma Liuzhi heard Li Ke's analysis, he couldn't help but feel admiration again.

His Royal Highness, the King of Shu, has actually calculated the route of the enemy's defeat and escape, and he is really thoughtful.

No wonder people say that His Highness is good at strategy. Before the fight begins, he has clearly calculated for you who can defeat him?
He then looked at the marching map, said "Hey", pointed to the wild fox area and said, "This area is full of mountains!"

He was just asking casually, but he didn't want Li Ke to look at him with a smile, nodded and said in praise: "That's right, your observation is very careful! That's why I value this place so much!"

Ma Liuzhi blushed a little after being praised, and hurriedly waved his hands to be humble: "The humble job doesn't understand these things, so I'll just listen to His Highness!"

Li Ke pointed to the wild fox: "One advantage of the mountainous terrain is that it is inconvenient to ride a horse."

He looked at the army outside the account: "The main force of our army is [-] mule infantry. Although they are more mobile, they still fight against the enemy on foot!"

If the infantry wants to fight the cavalry, of course it can't be in the open area.

Otherwise, as soon as the cavalry charges up, you will be overwhelmed by the cavalry without even being able to touch them with your fingertips.

But the terrain in mountainous areas is different. If the horses cannot gallop, the advantage of the cavalry will be lost.

Here, Li Ke's mule and horse infantry can just give full play to their advantages.

Li Ke explained to Ma Liuzhi: "So, my plan is to drive the enemy army here, and then set up an ambush in the wild fox to annihilate the coalition forces of the two countries!"

Ma Liuzhi was taken aback: "Your Highness, do you want to divide the troops again?"

At this time, he remembered the battle of Anshicheng. At that time in Anshicheng, Li Ke separated the cavalry outside the city to ambush the Goguryeo army, while [-] infantry guarded the city.

This battle horse Liu Zhi fought very hard, of course he was deeply impressed.

Now Li Ke proposed setting up an ambush again, and Ma Liuzhi certainly understood that he would divide his troops. One group of people would stay in Changshan to drive away the coalition forces of the two countries, while the other group of people would rush to Yehu and set up an ambush in advance.

"No!"

But at this time, Li Ke shook his head firmly: "Our troops are limited, we cannot divide them!"

When I was in Anshi City, it was my own side guarding the city, but 7 people could still hold it.

But when they arrived at Changshan, it was an open area, which was most conducive to cavalry charge. If they still wanted to divide their troops, Li Ke's small force would definitely not be able to defeat the opponent.

Since the coalition army cannot be defeated, how can they force the opponent back to the wild fox?

"This time, we will do our best to defeat the enemy in Changshan first, then chase them all the way, drive them to the wild fox, and set up an ambush in the wild fox!"

Li Ke explained very clearly, but Ma Liuzhi was already scratching his head at the moment, and it was obvious that he only understood half of what he heard.

"Your Highness, I have a question for you!"

"Say!"

Ma Liuzhi frowned: "Since Your Highness said that we will chase them later..."

"Then how can there be time to set up an ambush?"

"You can't divide people into two parts, one is chasing people, and the other is rushing to the wild fox in advance to set up an ambush, right?"

Ma Liuzhi was puzzled. From a time perspective, Li Ke's plan was completely unworkable.

It's not that the opponent has no legs, and he knows that the wild fox is not suitable for his cavalry to fight, so he has to stop there and wait for you to set up an ambush before fighting you?

He was very puzzled, so he had no choice but to throw this doubt to Li Ke.

At this moment, Li Ke was full of smiles. He combined the marching map and said inscrutablely: "The mountain people have their own tricks!"

……

Xi Zuo had already found out the location and time of the coalition's confluence, so what Li Ke had to do at this time was to ambush in advance, and then suddenly rushed out to deal a painful blow to the enemy.

The meeting place they set is located on the north side of Changshan County, at the foot of Donglin Mountain. The foot of Donglin Mountain is a large open area, which is very unfriendly to Li Ke's plan.

Both countries are dominated by cavalry, with a total of more than 4 horses, but Li Ke now only has [-] cavalry. It would be a fantasy to defeat the other side with these [-] people.

As for the remaining [-] infantry, in such an open area, if they want to fight against such a large cavalry unit, it will be no different from sending them to death.

Therefore, Li Ke had to put in the most effort. He ambushed the army in Donglin Mountain, waiting for the arrival of the coalition forces of the two countries.

The Turks and Xue Yantuo came earlier than Li Ke expected, and two hours before the scheduled time, the two armies had already arrived in the north of Changshan County.

There is an open space one mile away from Donglin Mountain, which is a vast grassland. It is late autumn at this time, and the grassland is withered and yellow.

When the two armies arrived here together, the color of the grassland immediately changed.

The black horse soldiers filled the grassland, bringing a chill to this peaceful grassland.

Shu Liang, the commander-in-chief of the Turks, and Dumo Shengxiong, the commander-in-chief of Xue Yantuo, rode together and led the two cavalry units behind them.

After the rendezvous from Wild Fox, these two troops rushed to Changshan County together, in order to meet here with the Goguryeo army, the most powerful of the Three Kingdoms, to discuss the matter of attacking Tang.

"Brother Shuliang, I heard that the people of Tang rejected the peace talks and sent people to fight us. Is this true?"

Xue Yantuo's aggressive Shengxiong was the first to speak. He was a tall, fat middle-aged man, wearing a round-top helmet and combing two shoulder-length pigtails. The pigtails hung at the sides of his ears, making him instantly recognizable. He is from the prairie.

The Turkic brother Shu Liang is younger, just over [-] years old, he also has a braid, but it is not combed on the shoulders, but tied behind the head with a red string.

Ge Shuliang nodded, took out another letter from his pocket, and handed it over: "That's right! This is a letter written by our country's special envoy, Ashina Bakan. Take a look..."

Commander Xue Yantuo took the letter, looked at it a few times, and then shouted angrily: "Huh! This Tang Dynasty is very capable, how dare we ignore our Three Kingdoms Allied Forces!"

This aggressive Shengxiong behaved roughly and was intimidating. He just let out an angry roar, which made the letter in his hand tremble and almost fall to the ground.

"I think Datang has just passed his birthday a few days ago, and he has forgotten the prestige of our prairie cavalry..."

Ge Shu Liang said bitterly with a cold face.

"Isn't that Turkic Khan of yours who let a kid behead his head in Chang'an, making the people of the Tang Dynasty more powerful!"

Duo Mo Shengxiong teased him, and Ge Shuliang's face turned blue.

The story of the Turkic defeat in Chang'an has spread throughout the grasslands, and all the tribes in the grasslands regard it as a joke.

At this time, Tuo Mosheng brought up the matter again, which naturally made Ge Shuliang, who was the commander of the Turkic army, a little uncomfortable.

Ge Shuliang immediately scolded: "This time, we will beat the Tang people hard to let them know who is the master and who is the slave! I will take one or two thousand Tang people back to the grassland and serve as my slaves all day long." Be a servant, to vent the anger in my heart!"

"That's right!" Commander Xue Yantuo laughed, "People in Tang Dynasty are like dogs, if you don't beat them with a whip, you will get carried away!"

He looked at Donglin Mountain not far away, and cursed in a rough voice: "This trip, if we go out together from the Three Kingdoms, we will surely scare the crap out of Li Shimin, and honestly hand over all the lands in Hebei!"
